I'd play 4-2-3-1 Davis Richardson Fonte Hooiveld Fox Spider Cork Lallana Sharp (free role, to get onto lamberts knock downs etc) Puncheon Lambert subs Bart,Harding,Martin,Hammond,Chaplow, Guly.
Davis Richardson Fonte Hooiveld Fox Puncheon Cork Schneiderlin Lallana Sharp Lambert Would do 4-2-3-1 but dont think our players suit it Bench: Bialkowski Harding Hammond De Ridder Lee
Davis Richardson---Fonte---Hooiveld---Fox Puncheon---Hammond---Cork---Lallana Lambert---Sharp Bart, Harding, Schneiderlin, Chaplow, Guly
4 3 3 Davis Richardson Fonte Hooiveld Fox Cork Lallana Schniederlin Puncheon Lambert Sharp Subs Bart Harding Chaplow Guly Lee
3-4-3, the best formation hands down, but we don't really have the players for it ATM. --------------------Davis ----------New CB---Fonte---Hooiveld Chaplow------Cork----Schneiderlin-------Lallana ----------Guly-----Lambert-----Sharp
I would pick 3-5-2 . My team that i play for uses this formation and we win nearly every game due to outnumbering the oppositions midfield which i feel saints need to do. Davis Hooiveld Fonte Fox Puncheon Hammond Cork Schneiderlin Lallana Lambert Sharp Bart, martin, chappers de ridder, lee
Davis Frazier Fonte Jos Fox Puncheon Cork Hammond Lallana Lambert Sharp Subs: Bart Harding Morgan De Ridder Lee I would be rotating Pucheon, Falque, Guly De Ridder and Chaplow regularly and i would also rotate Hammond Cork Morgan Chaplow depending on the type of game as well as to keep them all on their toes and so their performances would improve. I would keep the back 5 the same so they gain a good understanding as i'm not sure how many games they have played together. All in all this looks a very strong side and is capable of challenging anyone in this league
Davis Richardson Fonte Hooiveld Fox Puncheon Cork Schneiderlin Lallana Lambert Sharp Subs: Bart, Martin, Hammond, Lee, De Ridder
I quite liked Lambert in AM last night so I'd give him a free role to do what he wants because I sometimes feel he does anyway and we end up with nobody in the box. Also he can pass as well as anyone and can shoot from distance... ---------------------Davis Richardson----- Fonte----- Hooiveld----- Fox -------------Spiderman----- Cork -----------------------Lambert -------Puncheon----- Sharp----- Lallana Either that or put Guly where Lambert is and Lambert where Sharp is or Guly where Puncheon is - I really just don't want to leave Guly out, I'm worried I have a man crush.
Amazing how peoples opinions differ - for me with all players fit - Davis Richardson Jos Fonte Fox Puncheon Cork Spider Lallana Billy sharp Ricky Subs Chappers Hammond Bart Martin Guly/ de ridder
Cant believe no ones included Reeves. He was very good last night and at the rate he is improving the likes of Lallana , hammond and cork may not be first picks for long.
I think Lallana will be safe as Reeves is more of a CM/In-the-hole type player so Hammond and Guly I would say
I was really impressed with Reeves last night he was confident, skillful and should of had a goal. I had't seen much of him before but the future looks bright for him.
--------------------------Davis-------------------- ---Richardson------Hooiveld------Fonte--------Fox -------------------------Hammond-------------------- ----------------Schneiderlin---------Cork--------------- -----Puncheon----------Lambert----------------------Lallana----- 4-3-3.Hammond as an anchor man and Lallana and Puncheon as our wingers.Fox and Richardson to bomb up the flanks and Hammond to drop back into defense,this would leave us with,essentially a 3-4-3 formation when we are attacking and a 4-5-1 formation when we are defending with Puncheon-Schneiderlin-Hammond-Cork-Lallana. We played in this formation a few times before,against portsmouth in the cup where we played well for 70mins but the lack of pace from our defense back then cost us dearly.Hammond-Schneiderlin-Antonio and Papa Waigo-Lallana-Lambert. And against Man utd we had hammond-schneiderlin-lallana in midfield and guly and oxo on the wings and Lambo up front. Same as above. I think it works a treat,the only time it didn't work was against Leicester,but we had 5 first teamers...
